Tuesday 10th March 2020 Today we had our second Playcard session with P3.2 and it was lots of fun!

In our balloons we flew all the way to Nigera and we saw a volcano and lots of mums nearby baking cakes and making snacks. We hosted our first Granny Convention where all of the children dressed up as Grannies and introduced themselves to the rest of the room. There were some very interesting characters. Then the Grannies decided they wanted a trip in the Magic Ball! We arrived somewhere with lots of shops and went into a cafe run by lots of different grannies who all served us lunch. We had pasta, and cake, and ice-cream and coffee. Then Kian led us to a lift that took us all the way to America. as we were exploring we had to hide behind a big rock because suddenly there were Tigers, Zebras and a Panther!Ā We started to back away really slowly but then Shay saw a dinosaur! Luckily he was very friendly - he led us on an adventure but we saw a T-Rex and we all decided to turn into rocks to hide from [...]

Dora led us to the shade of a great big tent made of leaves. We ate pizza, and ice-cream then had orange and blackcurrant juice. Then we felt cool enough to explore again, we found some lovely sand ā€“ it was an Oasis! We laid down and listened to the sound of water and to the animals all around us. Daisy heard a snake slithering through the sand and then we all heard a big bird cawing at us to [...]

Ella became princess and invited everyone to her pink tower castle for a drink of juice! She asked her pet dragon if it would give us a ride. Lots of the children became the dragon and others lots from the dragons back, including an elephant playing under a waterfall, and another, bad dragon! "That was wonderful, so insightful. It was lovely to see the different ideas and the engagement as well. I thought you were really good at always using their ideas in class and in the session as well." Teacher [...]
